History

Historical Context

The Bosman ruling, established on December 15, 1995, allowed football players to transfer freely after their contracts expired, fundamentally changing player mobility. This landmark decision followed Jean-Marc Bosman's legal battle against RFC Liège, which had restricted his transfer.
